 * Is your web hosting server and MySQL in separate server? If so, do you configure
   your MySQL so the web server can access your MySQL database? You can create a
   simple php file to test MySQL connection if necessary:
 * <?php
    $servername = “your_server”; $username = “username”; $password = “password”;
 * // Create connection
    $conn = new mysqli($servername, $username, $password);
 * // Check connection
    if ($conn->connect_error) { die(“Connection failed: ” . 
   $conn->connect_error); } echo “Connected successfully”; ?>

 * If you can FTP to your host, check if you have the wp-config.php file in the 
   root folder of the wordpress directory. Open that file and make sure the information
   in that file is accurate.
 * If not, you should have a file wp-config-sample.php.
 * Open that file, insert the correct information and then save that file as wp-
   config.php
 * You really shouldn’t have to do any of this if during the web-based install, 
   however this might get you moving towards a good install.

 * Ideally wordpress gives the error message like ‘Error establishing database connection’,
   when database not configured properly. So try checking DB credentials once again.
   
   Also check your Hosting (localhost at most cases) if it has hosted at different
   server.
